Chelsea's summer transfer window was a bit messy in all honesty, with the Blues eventually signing seven players.
Todd Boehly took over the club in May, with Chelsea behind their rivals in terms of recruitment after being sanctioned under the ownership of Roman Abramovich. With Marina Granovskaia and Petr Cech both leaving, Boehly took on the role as interim sporting director.
From an outside point of view, it came across as a scatter gun approach from Chelsea. Boehly and the rest of the board will be keen not to see a repeat of this in future transfer windows and the club are determined to appoint a new sporting director sooner rather than later.
